Dr. Amy Hecht
Psychologist, PhD
My practice is grounded in one central idea: that family, in all of its forms, deserves to be understood, supported, and thoughtfully nurtured. I have the privilege of working with individuals, couples, and families at some of the most meaningful—and often most vulnerable—moments in their lives. Whether someone is building a family, navigating challenges within one, or redefining what family means to them, my goal is always to create a space that feels both safe and genuinely supportive.
A significant part of my work focuses on family building, including comprehensive evaluations for adoption, assisted reproduction, and other non-traditional pathways to parenthood. I have extensive experience working with adoptive parents, intended parents, and families formed through surrogacy, donation, and other modern family-building processes. These evaluations are not just procedural—they are an opportunity to reflect, prepare, and enter parenthood with clarity and confidence.
In addition to evaluation work, I provide therapy for individuals, couples, and families. I approach this work with warmth, directness, and deep respect for each person’s experience. Whether addressing relationship strain, life transitions, trauma, or the complexities of parenting, I aim to help people better understand themselves and each other, and to move forward with intention.
I have a particular passion for working with non-traditional families—those whose paths may fall outside of conventional expectations but are no less meaningful or deserving of support. My practice is inclusive, affirming, and grounded in the belief that there is no single “right” way to build or be a family.
Above all, I strive to offer a space where people feel seen, understood, and guided—not judged. This is deeply personal work, and I consider it an honor to be part of my clients’ journeys.

Laura Goldstein
Marriage and Family Therapist, LCMFT
Hello, I’m Laura Goldstein! I am a licensed clinical marriage and family therapist in North Bethesda MD and I founded Montgomery County Counseling Center, LLC in 2017. My work in this field started first and foremost because of my passion for family therapy! Nothing happens in a vacuum of just one person. Sustainable change can only occur when the entire system shifts. Therefore, whether or not the entire family is in the therapy space, we must still consider the whole family’s relationship dynamics.
Because of this perspective, I can work with anyone: individuals, couples, and families. Clients are the experts in their own lives. So, my goal is to create a safe and non-judgemental space for them to explore the issues that matter most to them. However, I also believe that clients come to therapy looking for expertise. If what you were doing on your own was already working, you wouldn’t be here. Therefore, I take a rather directive approach to helping my clients learn skills to be successful in managing distress and/or conflict.
What does that mean exactly?
Well, as a therapist I won't tell you what to do or what not to do. But, I can shine a light on your patterns and bring attention to the areas where you can make different choices [no matter whatever anyone else around you is doing]. I’m a “no BS” kinda gal. Authenticity is key! This means sometimes hearing the things that are hard to hear, and necessary to hear. All the while, my goal is ALWAYS to do so in a safe way that feels supportive, empathic, and non-judgmental.
